Hi everyone! I’ve had a very stressful couple of months but we’re coming out of that now, and I have an announcement! My short story “Sign Me Up” is featured in Deadset Press’s new anthology, Where The Weird Things Are Volume 1. It features a public servant in a job she hates on a dangerousContinue reading “New Release: Where the Weird Things Are Vol. 1”

2021 Goals Midpoint Check-in
This was supposed to be my quarterly check-in. I found it in my drafts folder today. Oops! I am usually a stickler for having these types of posts go up on the last day of the period they refer to or the first day of the following period, but here we are. 😂 This yearContinue reading “2021 Goals Midpoint Check-in”
What I Achieved in 2020
When I posted my 2020 Writing Goals on the first of January, Australia was basically on fire. My city was shrouded in smoke, as were others, and N95 masks had sold out across the country. At the time, we thought it couldn’t really get much worse. March 30 was my first day working from home.Continue reading “What I Achieved in 2020”
My Author Photo Shoot!
So most of the photos I have of myself are connected to the local theatre productions I’ve done over the years. I’m usually wearing makeup and contact lenses. Which is all fine, but theatre!me is quite a different vibe to author!me. This year I met Stephanie, who is still in high-school but already has anContinue reading “My Author Photo Shoot!”
2020 Writing Goals – October Check-in
At the start of this year, some writer friends and I chose a word as the theme for the coming 12 months. Mine was LEARN. I’ve definitely been learning. And now we’re on the downhill run towards the end of the year. In some ways, it feels like the months have dragged on beyond belief, andContinue reading “2020 Writing Goals – October Check-in”
2020 Writing Goals – Mid-year Check-in
At the start of this year, some writer friends and I chose a word as the theme for the coming 12 months. Mine was LEARN. With everything that’s gone on in the past few months, I’ve been doing a fair amount of learning, not just about writing but life in general. Learning how to make workContinue reading “2020 Writing Goals – Mid-year Check-in”
Writing Update – 18 May 2020
Does anyone else feel like time is passing at twice its usual speed lately? I don’t know. I’m finding it all very confusing, and I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since my last post! I’ve been doing some work on the A More Complicated Fairytale book description. When I was doing Bryan Cohen’s five-day AmazonContinue reading “Writing Update – 18 May 2020”
Sunday Summary – May 03
How can it be May already? After March dragged on forever, April seemed to be gone in the blink o an eye! In spite of everything, April was a pretty good month in Chez Wrayburn. Working from home kicked in, which took away a lot of the stress we’had been feeling about having to stillContinue reading “Sunday Summary – May 03”
2020 Writing Goals – April Check-in
At the start of this year, some writer friends and I chose a word as the theme for the coming 12 months. Mine was LEARN. Now the start of the year feels like a million years ago, but actually, I’ve been ticking things off on this list more so than I thought. That’s why check-inContinue reading “2020 Writing Goals – April Check-in”
Where’d you go, Emily?
So who else is ready for 2020 to be cancelled? From starting the year covered in bushfire smoke, to massive hailstorms, to job insecurity only exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is it any wonder that I’ve barely put pen to paper, or that my last post here was February 16? Any wonder that I wasContinue reading “Where’d you go, Emily?”
